Hi all.
I have been part of the forum for a couple of months now and already onto my second  KLR,  and now I have been bitten by the project bike “bug”. Not sure if I can post questions about “plastics” so apologies if I am out of line.

I have found a Husqvarna “plastic” but am very nervous to just buy it without first finding out about spares etc as it needs quite a bit of work. I know nothing about the make and was hoping someone could give me some advice.
I think it is about a 1986/8 CR or XC 500. (from looking on the internet)

Most important question would be,  Am I crazy to take this on as my first project bike?
Are new spares still available for these models and where?
What is a fair price for the bike that was last ridden a year ago, slipping clutch when ridden on tar, rubbers all perishing and bad condition plastic covers?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
